Hello, I have 2 routers, Remote and Central connected via 2 serial intfs. I have ppp pap auth. and ppp multilink configed. on these intfs. This creates a virtual intf. Virtual-Access1 intf. which allows me to learn about networks on Remote and Central. I can ping successfully to these networks but when I ping the serial ip itself of the other side, it fails. Why would the ppp multilink cmd. prevent me from pinging the serial ip itself but allow me to ping to networks that is actually being learned through these serial intfs? Obviously, when I remove the ppp multilink cmd. pings work fine for both serials! Output: Remote#ping 4.4.4.2 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 4.4.4.2, timeout is 2 seconds: ..... Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
Remote#ping 21.21.21.1 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 21.21.21.1, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 28/28/28 ms With ppp multilink cmd. removed from the serials: Remote#ping 4.4.4.2 Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 4.4.4.2, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 36/37/40 ms Any ideas??
